Abstract
Uranium extraction from seawater (UES) is recognized as one of the seven pivotal chemical separations with the potential to revolutionize global paradigms. The forthcoming decade is anticipated to witness a surge in UES, driven by escalating energy demands. The oceanic reservoirs, possessing uranium quantities approximately 1000-fold higher than terrestrial mines, present a more sustainable and environmentally benign alternative. Empirical evidence from historical research indicates that adsorption emerges as the most efficacious process for uranium recovery from seawater, considering operational feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and selectivity. Over the years, scientific exploration has led to the development of a plethora of adsorbents with superior adsorption capacity. It would be efficient to design materials with a deep understanding of the adsorption from the perspective of kinetics and thermodynamics. Here, we summarize recent advancements in UES technology and the contemporary challenges encountered in this domain. Furthermore, we present our perspectives on the future trajectory of UES and finally offer our insights into this subject.

Chromatographic Purification of Lithium, Vanadium, and Uranium from Seawater Using Organic Composite Adsorbents Composed of Benzo-18-Crown-6 and Benzo-15-Crown-5 Embedded in Highly Porous Silica Beads. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:27410-27421. [PMID: 35967073 PMCID: PMC9366790 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c02427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
The use of the composite adsorbents composed of benzo-15-crown-5 (abbreviated as BC15) and benzo-18-crown-6 (BC18) for the simultaneous recovery of vanadium (V), uranium (U), and lithium (Li) from seawater has been proposed for industrial applications. The adsorption and desorption behavior of these elements on BC15 and BC18 has been examined in various types of aqueous solutions over a wide temperature range. As a result, it was shown that BC15 and BC18 have sufficient adsorption ability for the simultaneous recovery of V, U, and Li from seawater. Moreover, it was seen that the distribution coefficients (K d) of V decrease with an increase in [HCl]T (subscript T: total concentration), indicating that the anionic V species such as H2V4O13 4- are exponentially changed into the cationic V species such as V3+, VO2+, and VO2 + under the condition [HCl]T = 1.0 M, and the complexation reactions between BC15 (or BC18) and the initial V structures are inhibited. Besides, it was reasonably shown that the adsorption mechanism is the path through the electrostatic interaction between the anionic V species such as H2V4O13 4-, and the -C-O-C- single bond that the electron density is eccentrically located in ether functional groups in crown ether rings in BC15 and BC18 (or the -C-OH single bond that the electron density is eccentrically located in bisphenol A in BC15 and BC18). Then, the chromatography experiment of V, U, and Li on BC15 (or BC18) at 298 K was carried out by flowing seawater, 1.0 × 10-2 M HCl, and 1.0 M HCl in sequence. The first peak of V can be separated from the plateau of Li and the first and second peaks of U in the case of the BC15 system. The recovery ratios of V and U were more than 80%. On the other hand, entirely overlapping chromatograms were obtained in the case of the BC18 system, and accordingly, the recovery ratios of V and U were much lower. In short, the separation efficiency of V with BC15 is more pre-eminent than that with BC18. Judging from these results, the durability of BC15 was finally assessed for industrial applications, that is, the aforementioned chromatography experiment was repeatedly carried out to check whether V, U, and Li were stably and mutually separated from seawater or not. The evidence that the recovery performances of V, U, and Li from seawater do not decrease at all after at least five cycle tests was provided. This indicates that this information will be valuable for the development of a practical chromatographic technology to simultaneously recover V, U, and Li from seawater.

Abstract
An amidoxime and carboxylate containing polymer adsorbent derived from acrylic fiber has shown extremely high efficiencies for extracting critical materials and precious metals from seawater. Among 50 extractable elements, the lanthanides, cobalt, and palladium were ranked near the top with KD values in the order of 107, about an order of magnitude higher than that of uranium. The KD value of the lanthanides increased linearly with the atomic number indicating charge density is a factor controlling trivalent lanthanide extractability in seawater. The data given in this report provides crucial information regarding the strategies of ocean mining of critical materials and precious metals.

Abstract
Now the wide use of nanooxides is attributed to their remarkable collection of properties. Nanocomposites have an impressive variety of important applications. A thermal decomposition approach provides a more optimistic method for nanocrystal synthesis due to the low cost, high efficiency, and expectations for large-scale production. Therefore, in this study a new eco-friendly nanooxide composite with sorption characteristics for europium (Eu(III)) and strontium (Sr(II)) was synthesized by a one-step thermal treatment process using earth-abundant tafla clay as a starting material to prepare a modified tafla (M-Taf) nanocomposite. The synthesized nancomposite was characterized by different techniques before and after sorption processes. Different factors that affected the sorption behavior of Eu(III) and Sr(II) in aqueous media by the M-Taf nanocomposite were studied. The results obtained illustrated that the kinetics of sorption of Eu(III) and Sr(II) by the M-Taf nanocomposite are obeyed according to the pseudo-second order and controlled by a Langmuir isotherm model with maximum sorption capacities (Q max) of 25.5 and 23.36 mg/g for Eu(III) and Sr(II), respectively. Also, this novel low-cost and eco-friendly sorbent has promising properties and can be used to separate and retain some radionuclides in different applications.

Abstract
The ultra-selective extraction of thorium ions (Th(IV)) from lanthanides is of significance to both solve the radioactive pollution issue in rare earth (RE) production and sustainably provide thorium fuel for the liquid fluoride thorium reactors (LFTR). However, it remains a great challenge. Here, we reported an oxygen-rich microporous carbon for ultra-selective extraction of Th(IV) from rare earth elements (REEs) in a wide pH range. This selectivity was derived from the synergy of the oxygen-rich nature, microporous structure of the carbons, the chemical valence, and the ionic size of Th(IV) species. This oxygen-rich microporous carbon presented an ultra-high distribution coefficient (Kd) of 1.15 × 108 mL g-1 for Th(IV) at pH 4.9 in the presence of 15 REEs and revealed outstanding performance for Th(IV) extraction from three simulated RE solutions with high ionic strength of lanthanides. Meanwhile, an exceptional adsorption capacity of 624.98 mg g-1 was obtained in the single Th(IV) solution. Both values were superior to those of reported adsorbents. More importantly, the new adsorbent developed here could be prepared from cigarette butts. These features ensured the oxygen-rich carbon as a promising and cost-effective adsorbent for high-purity thorium extraction from REEs.

Abstract
Recent attention on the lanthanides (Ln) contaminant such as lanthanum (La) and neodymium (Nd) extensively used in industry has aroused the great desire for the effective adsorbent. Biochar, relying on its high selectivity and optional ease, is regarded as a promising adsorbent for lanthanides removal although the evaluation of the efficiency and mechanism of La(III) and Nd(III) adsorption on biochar still lags. Here, we investigated the aqueous adsorption processes through SEM, TEM, EDS, FTIR and Raman spectra, XPS, and batch experiments. The porous structure of biochar and the complex functional groups on its surface contributed to the La(III) and Nd(III) removal processes. The kinetic of La(III) and Nd(III) adsorption agreed well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption capacity showed a strong positive correlation with pH value. However, it was only slightly altered and robust in La(III) and Nd(III) adsorption respectively. The isotherm results reflected significant fitting to the Sips model as well as Langmuir and Freundlich model. Thermodynamic demonstrated the spontaneity, endothermic nature, and temperature favor of the adsorptions on biochar surface (La: ΔH0=35.39 (kJ/Mol), ΔS0=104.71(J*Mol-1*K-1) and ΔG0<0; Nd: ΔH0=16.71(KJ/mol), ΔS0=119.41(J*Mol-1*K-1) and ΔG0<0). Both the La(III) and Nd(III) removal processes combined physical and chemical adsorptions. Therefore, biochar could be a potential green material for the lanthanum and neodymium adsorption with high efficiency.

Abstract
Uranium-238 (238U), a long-lived radiometal, is widespread in the environment because of both naturally occurring processes and anthropogenic processes. The ingestion or inhalation of large amounts of U is a major threat to humans, and its toxicity is considered mostly chemical rather than radiological. Therefore, a way to remove uranium ingested by humans from uranium-contaminated water or from the air is critically needed. This study investigated the uranium uptake by hydroxyapatite (HAP), a compound found in human bone and teeth. The uptake of U by teeth is a result of U transport as dissolved uranyl (UO22+) in contaminated water, and U adsorption has been linked to delays in both tooth eruption and development. In this present work, the influence of pH, contact time, initial U concentration, and buffer solution on the uptake and removal of U in synthetic HAP was investigated and modeled. The influence of pH (pH of human saliva, 6.7-7.4) on the uptake of uranyl was negligible. Furthermore, the kinetics were extremely fast; in one second of exposure, 98% of uranyl was uptaken by HAP. The uptake followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and a Freundlich isotherm model. A 0.2 M sodium carbonate solution removed all the uranyl from HAP after 1 h. Another series of in vitro tests were performed with real teeth as targets. We found that, for a 50 mg/L U in PBS solution adjusted to physiological pH, ∼35% of the uranyl was uptaken by the tooth after 1 h, following pseudo-first-order kinetics. Among several washing solutions tested, a commercially available carbonate, as well as a commercially available fluoride solution, enabled removal of all the uranyl taken up by the teeth.

Abstract
Waterways have histories of being contaminated by heavy and/or radioactive metals produced by industrial processes. Natural radioisotopes of uranium (238U, 235U and 234U), long-lived radiometals, are widespread in the environment as a result of both naturally occurring processes and anthropogenic processes. Uranium is considered a major threat to humans. Previous research has focused on using inorganic materials (e.g. ion-exchangers, extractants, nanoporous sorbents) to remove such metal. However, there has been a rise in using biodegradable, recyclable, and organic biological wastes to remove heavy toxic metals from aqueous solutions. The purpose of this study is to identify pistachio shells as good candidates for the removal of uranyl from aqueous solutions. The influences of pH, contact time, temperature, and initial uranyl concentration on uranyl uptake were investigated. The influence of pH was observed to be variable, with relatively high uptake occurring at pH 4 and at slightly alkaline pH values. Uptake increased as a function of contact time, temperature, and initial uranyl concentration. The mechanism followed pseudo-second-order and intraparticle kinetics models, and the shell was demonstrated to be a Freundlich isotherm. The shells were successfully demonstrated to be viable adsorbents for uranium in seawater samples, with obtained trends similar to those achieved in the batch studies.

Abstract
Elemental analysis of rare earth elements is essential in a variety of fields including environmental monitoring and nuclear safeguards; however, current techniques are often labor intensive, time consuming, and/or costly to perform. The difficulty arises in preparing samples, which requires separating the chemically and physically similar lanthanides. However, by transitioning these separations to the microscale, the speed, cost, and simplicity of sample preparation can be drastically improved. Here, all fourteen non-radioactive lanthanides (lanthanum through lutetium minus promethium) are separated by ITP for the first time in a serpentine fused-silica microchannel (70 µm wide × 70 µm tall × 33 cm long) in <10 min at voltages ≤8 kV with limits of detection on the order of picomoles. This time includes the 2 min electrokinetic injection time at 2 kV to load sample into the microchannel. The final leading electrolyte consisted of 10 mM ammonium acetate, 7 mM α-hydroxyisobutyric acid, 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone, and the final terminating electrolyte consisted of 10 mM acetic acid, 7 mM α-hydroxyisobutyric acid, and 1% polyvinylpyrrolidone. Electrophoretic electrodes are embedded in the microchip reservoirs so that voltages can be quickly applied and switched during operation. The limits of detection are quantified using a commercial capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4 D) to calculate ITP zone lengths in combination with ITP theory. Optimization of experimental procedures and reproducibility based on statistical analysis of subsequent experimental results are addressed. Percent error values in band length and conductivity are ≤8.1 and 0.37%, respectively.

Abstract
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a global environmental issue. Conventionally, a number of active and passive remediation approaches are applied to treat and manage AMD. Case studies on remediation approaches applied in actual mining sites such as lime neutralization, bioremediation, wetlands and permeable reactive barriers provide an outlook on actual long-term implications of AMD remediation. Hence, in spite of available remediation approaches, AMD treatment remains a challenge. The need for sustainable AMD treatment approaches has led to much focus on water reuse and resource recovery. This review underscores (i) characteristics and implication of AMD, (ii) remediation approaches in mining sites, (iii) alternative treatment technologies for water reuse, and (iv) resource recovery. Specifically, the role of membrane processes and alternative treatment technologies to produce water for reuse from AMD is highlighted. Although membrane processes are favorable for water reuse, they cannot achieve resource recovery, specifically selective valuable metal recovery. The approach of integrated membrane and conventional treatment processes are especially promising for attaining both water reuse and recovery of resources such as sulfuric acid, metals and rare earth elements. Overall, this review provides insights in establishing reuse and resource recovery as the holistic approach towards sustainable AMD treatment. Finally, integrated technologies that deserve in depth future exploration is highlighted.

Abstract
This work evaluated sorbent materials created from nanoporous silica self-assembled with monolayer (SAMMS) of hydroxypyridinone derivatives (1,2-HOPO, 3,2-HOPO, 3,4-HOPO), acetamide phosphonate (Ac-Phos), glycine derivatives (IDAA, DE4A, ED3A), and thiol (SH) for capturing of actinides and transition metal cobalt. In filtered seawater doped with competing metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo) at levels encountered in environmental or physiological samples, 3,4-HOPO-SAMMS was best at capturing uranium (U(VI)) from pH 2-8, Ac-Phos and 1,2-HOPO-SAMMS sorbents were best at pH < 2. 3,4-HOPO-SAMMS effectively captured thorium (Th(IV)) and plutonium (239Pu(IV)) from pH 2-8, and americium (241Am(III)) from pH 5-8. Capturing cobalt (Co(II)) from filtered river water doped with competing metals (Cu, As, Ag, Cd, Hg, Tl, and Pb) was most effective from pH 5-8 with binding affinity ranged from IDAA > DE4A > ED3A > Ac-Phos > SH on SAMMS. Iminodiacetic acid (IDAA)-SAMMS was also outstanding at capturing Co(II) in ground and seawater. Within 5 min, over 99% of U(VI) and Co(II) in seawater was captured by 3,4-HOPO-SAMMS and IDAA-SAMMS, respectively. These nanoporous materials outperformed the commercially available cation sorbents in binding affinity and adsorption rate. They have great potential for water treatment and recovery of actinides and cobalt from complex matrices.

Abstract
Most of the key radionuclides in the nuclear fuel cycle, such as actinides, possess a combination of heavy metal chemotoxicity and radiotoxicity and therefore represent a severe threat to the ecological environment and public safety. The radiotoxicity originates from direct radiation-induced organ damage and indirect damage, mostly through radiation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although effective chelating agents that can accelerate the excretion of actinides, such as uranium, have been developed in the past several decades, very few of them can reduce radiation-induced damage from internal contamination. In fact, the strategy of simultaneous removal of actinides and their induced-ROS in vivo has scarcely been considered. Here, we report a 3,2-hydroxypyridinone-grafted chitosan oligosaccharide nanoparticle (COS-HOPO) as a new type of decorporation agent that is effective for the removal of both uranium and ROS in vivo. The cytotoxicity and decorporation assays indicate that the marriage of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) and hydroxypyridinone (HOPO) gives rise to a remarkable decrease in toxicity and promotion of the uranium removal capability from both kidneys and femurs. The decorporation efficacy can reach up to 43% in rat proximal tubular epithelial cells (NRK-52E), 44% in kidneys, and 32% in femurs. Moreover, the ROS levels of the cells treated with COS-HOPO are significantly lower than those of the control group, implying a promising radiation protection effect. The detoxification mechanism of COS-HOPO is closely related to both chelating U(VI)- and scavenging U(VI)-induced intracellular ROS.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2018; 352:121-129.

Abstract
The ability of bentonite and montmorillonite pillared by Al-oxide and mixed (Ln-Al)-oxides (Ln = La, Ce) to remove 239plutonium solution species from water is comparatively investigated at pH 7 and pH 4. Small-angle scattering and neutron contrast variation with H2O/D2O mixtures is used to verify the ingress of water in the calcined products after hydrophilicity was introduced by an NH3-H2O vapor treatment. The size and shape of the (La/Ce)-Al oxo-hydroxy pillaring cations (2 nm spheres) is determined by small-angle x-ray scattering from the pillaring solutions. Not all of the oxide pillars improved Pu uptake compared with sodium montmorillonite. At neutral and acidic pH only (Ce-Al)-oxide pillared clays showed the ability to remove Pu over the concentration range studied (1.35 × 10-8-8 × 10-8 mol dm-3) with distribution coefficient (KD) values >104. XPS analysis of the (Ce-Al)-oxide pillared clays indicates the presence of Ce4+ as cerium dioxide. The progressive improvement in sorption performance in the order of pillar type Al2O3 < La2O3-Al2O3 << CeO2-Al2O3 reflects the increasing access of Pu solution species to the clay mineral layers by changes to the basal spacing and specific surface area, and also to the higher stability of the (Ce-Al)-oxide pillars.

Abstract
A DFT study of U(VI) hydroxy complexes was performed with special attention paid to the [(UO2)3(OH)5(H2O)4–7]+ and [(UO2)4(OH)7(H2O)5–8]+ species. It was established that the ionicity of the U=O bond increased when moving from [(UO2)(H2O)5]2+, [(UO2)2(OH)(H2O)8]3+, [(UO2)2(OH)2(H2O)6]2+, [(UO2)3(OH)5(H2O)4–6]+ to [(UO2)4(OH)7(H2O)5–8]+ species. In both [(UO2)3(OH)5(H2O)4–6]+ and [(UO2)4(OH)7(H2O)5–8]+ complexes, the U=O bond was observed to have a range of different lengths which depended on the composition of the first coordination sphere of UO22+. The cyclic structures of trimeric complexes were somewhat more stable than their linear structures, which was probably due to the steric effect.

Abstract
This review summarises the methods currently available to extract radioactive actinide elements from solutions of spent nuclear fuel. This separation of actinides reduces the hazards associated with spent nuclear fuel, such as its radiotoxicity, volume and the amount of time required for its' radioactivity to return to naturally occurring levels. Separation of actinides from environmental water systems is also briefly discussed. The actinide elements typically found in spent nuclear fuel include uranium, plutonium and the minor actinides (americium, neptunium and curium). Separation methods for uranium and plutonium are reasonably well established. On the other hand separation of the minor actinides from lanthanide fission products also present in spent nuclear fuel is an ongoing challenge and an area of active research. Several separation methods for selective removal of these actinides from spent nuclear fuel will be described. These separation methods include solvent extraction, which is the most commonly used method for radiochemical separations, as well as the less developed but promising use of adsorption and ion-exchange materials.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide decorated graphene oxide (GOM) was prepared via fixation of crystallographic MnO2 (α, γ) on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) and was explored as an adsorbent material for simultaneous removal of thorium/uranium ions from aqueous solutions. In single component systems (Th(IV) or U(VI)), the α-GOM2 (the weight ratio of GO/α-MnO2 of 2) exhibited higher maximum adsorption capacities toward both Th(IV) (497.5mg/g) and U(VI) (185.2 mg/g) than those of GO. In the binary component system (Th(IV)/U(VI)), the saturated adsorption capacity of Th(IV) (408.8 mg/g)/U(VI) (66.8 mg/g) on α-GOM2 was also higher than those on GO. Based on the analysis of various data, it was proposed that the adsorption process may involve four types of molecular interactions including coordination, electrostatic interaction, cation-pi interaction, and Lewis acid-base interaction between Th(IV)/U(VI) and α-GOM2. Finally, the Th(IV)/U(VI) ions on α-GOM2 can be separated by a two-stage desorption process with Na2CO3/EDTA. Those results displayed that the α-GOM2 may be utilized as an potential adsorbent for removing and separating Th(IV)/U(VI) ions from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
This work presents for the first time the electrochemical determination of europium using cyclic voltammetry at gold electrodes modified with 2-pyridinol-1-oxide. A well-defined oxidation peak was observed in cyclic voltammetry as a result of the oxidation of the europium at ∼1100 mV in phosphate buffer at pH 7.0. The peak current increased linearly with the increase of concentration of the europium over the range from 1 to 80 μM and detection limit (based on 3-sigma) and quantification were found to be 0.3 and 0.549 μM, respectively. The analytical utility of the developed protocol was evaluated by performing the detection of the europium in river water. Europium is also linear over the concentration range 10 to 150 μM. (I(p)/μA = 0.7239x + 108.19, R(2) = 0.9981 and n = 9) with a detection limit of 6.5 μM (based on 3-sigma). This simple and effective protocol exhibited good sensitivity, precision and reliability towards the detected analyte.
